TECAR Therapy

What Is TECAR Therapy?

TECAR Therapy (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) uses radiofrequency energy to gently warm and stimulate deeper layers of soft tissue. In my Midtown Manhattan studio near Penn Station, I use TECAR to support circulation, reduce stiffness, and prepare muscles and fascia for more effective movement and manual work.

TECAR is not aggressive and doesn’t rely on deep pressure. Instead, it provides a targeted warming effect deep under the skin—helping tight or guarded tissue relax so we can move better. I often combine TECAR with shockwave therapy, Class 4 laser, Compex EMS, TRX, or smart-gym resistance work for a more complete session.

How TECAR Therapy Works

• Deep thermal effect: Helps tissues relax without aggressive pressure.
• Improved circulation: Gentle warming encourages blood flow and tissue mobility.
• Reduced tightness: Calms protective muscle guarding and stiffness.
• Better movement: Helps prepare areas for corrective exercise, mobility work, or deeper techniques.

Why I Use TECAR as Part of My Approach

What I Use TECAR For

• Tissue stiffness from sitting, stress, or overuse
• Tightness around the neck, shoulders, hips, or lower back
• General muscle guarding from chronic tension
• Warm-up before deeper therapy techniques
• Support for mobility or flexibility work
• Recovery after training or long workdays

What Does a TECAR Session Feel Like?

You’ll feel a deep, comfortable warmth—not surface heat—spreading through the target area. Most people describe it as relaxing and calming. There’s no pressure, no clicking, and no discomfort. It’s a great option for people who prefer gentle treatment or who are sensitive to manual techniques.
